DVC 2000 problem to fully open

08/31/2011 9:24 AM

We are usign control valve with DVC 2000 series for simence PLC we have problem when we tray to fully open this valve ( air to open type) by 20ma output it's getting bad pv because in simence plc electronic card getting more resistance by rising output 20 mA so it's rising bad pv,

so problem is we can't fully open 100% this valve by 20ma always have to open by giving 16ma~ 75% open or 18-19ma~ 85%-95% ,

Quastion Is can we configure valve instead 4-20ma to 0-16ma for 100% span or can we set 2-18ma for 100% span so our problem can solve, resistance will not rise.

Anyhow to open valve 100% we don't wanna use 20ma so can we configure 0-16ma or 2-18ma output for valve at DVC 2000 side ? cause, I think it's possible from plc to set this kind output at plc side but from valve at dvc 2000 I don't know….cause i know we are gonna going to change 4-20 ma philosophy by this. May be it will never allowed.

Any suggestion / expirieice most welcome to share it..

Try raising the loop supply voltage by a volt or two to overcome the loop resistance.

First,

I could be recommended read the manual available in the emerson web, the recomendation from PWslack is a good solution, also you can try change the input characteristic (quick opening, linear, custom) to custom and change the last points from this custom curve in order to get 100% with less mA that 20, Normally the control dont be operate near to the 20mA region, a good control must be work with a valve opening from 20% to 80%.

I hope this help

Regards
JP
